Here is the scoop on brunch at Main Street Kitchen, as promised, from my dinner post on Main Street Kitchen, Walnut Creek, California. After my daughter LuLu and I enjoyed such a delicious dinner and friendly service under the stars on a lovely Saturday night we could not resist returning for brunch the following day. […]
One chilly weekend morning I was hungry for a breakfast sandwich – one like those found at fast food restaurants. An Egg McMuffin type sandwich to be exact. I am not a fan of fast food restaurants. In fact, I don’t “do” fast food restaurants! I couldn’t begin to tell you the last time I […]
Oil & Honey Edition ~ I believe in aromatherapy! Ever find yourself focusing on the keyboard and drawing a blank, crawling in bed and staring at the ceiling, stressing out over a job interview or less than stellar meeting with your boss, or suffering with arthritic pain? Events such as these can cause a great […]
When my daughter LuLu and I stumbled upon Main Street Kitchen in Walnut Creek this past Saturday something drew us in. It wasn’t just the delicious aroma drifting out to the adjacent sidewalk, or the bright blue umbrellas inviting al fresco dining. It wasn’t the warm ambient light glowing inside or the blackboard touting brunch. I am […]
Pasta Carbonara ~ it’s like having eggs and bacon for dinner in a most delicious way! I’d even go so far as to call it “comfort food”! We all know bacon makes everything better and this dish has just enough to lift the flavor and not be too unhealthy! Moving from winter into spring we […]
Oil & Honey Edition Orange Cinnamon cookies are sweet and cheery little bites. Using wild orange oil and orange zest turns them from a plain little cookie to a zingy little cookie!

Herb infused honey is a pairing of goodness on two levels.. The medicinal value found in herbs as well as the healing benefits of honey. I love honey straight out of the jar but infused honeys certainly have their place in my kitchen. Imagine fresh pear slices drizzled with rosemary infused honey. How about lavender honey spooned […]
Fresh and dried herbs are swell additions to many foods, recipes and dishes. How to use herbs is something many of us are familiar with. Some of you may use herbs everyday and many of you may be uncertain how to incorporate them into your meals. If you grow herbs you are more than likely […]
Oil & Honey Edition ~ I am starting a pre-spring detox. My plan is not a crazy starve myself detox but one where ingesting good, clean food, drinking lots of water and including essential oils is the idea. With spring comes growth, baby birds, tender green leaves shoot out of trees, brilliantly colored bulbs burst forth from the […]
This my friends is the one and only brownie recipe you’ll ever need! I promise – rich, decadent, dark chocolate mixed with dark and bittersweet chips, chopped walnuts, as well as a dash of espresso powder and the best part? It all comes together in ONE bowl! That is the second reason why this is […]
